Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel for Pets – Dental Hygiene Support
Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel is a veterinary-recommended dental care solution designed to promote oral hygiene in dogs and cats. This gel helps reduce plaque buildup, freshen breath, and support gum health. It is a simple and effective way to maintain a pet’s oral hygiene without the need for brushing.
Regular dental care is essential for preventing gum disease, bad breath, and other oral health issues. Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel provides a convenient solution for pet owners looking to support their pet’s dental health with minimal effort.
How Does Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel Work?
Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel contains zinc ascorbate, a stabilised form of zinc that helps reduce plaque and tartar formation. Zinc is a key component in maintaining oral health, as it neutralises bacteria, supports gum tissue, and promotes wound healing. The gel is designed to adhere to the teeth and gums, allowing for continuous action against harmful bacteria.
Once applied, the gel helps break down biofilm, which is a layer of bacteria that contributes to plaque buildup. By disrupting this biofilm, the gel helps slow the accumulation of plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of periodontal disease.
The gel is odourless and tasteless, making it well-tolerated by most pets. It does not require brushing, making it ideal for pets that resist traditional toothbrush-based cleaning methods. The natural ingredients work with the pet’s saliva to spread throughout the mouth, providing a gentle but effective cleaning action.

Description
Benefits of Cleaning Your Pet’s Teeth
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for a pet’s overall health. Poor dental care can lead to plaque buildup, gum disease, and even systemic infections affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular oral cleaning can help prevent these issues and contribute to a longer, healthier life.
Prevention of Plaque and Tartar
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth after eating. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by professional cleaning. Tartar buildup can cause gum inflammation and lead to periodontal disease. Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel helps prevent plaque from hardening into tartar, reducing the risk of dental issues.
Reduction of Bad Breath
Bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by bacteria in the mouth. When plaque accumulates, it produces odours that lead to unpleasant breath. By reducing bacterial growth, Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel helps freshen a pet’s breath, improving oral hygiene and overall comfort.
Support for Gum Health
Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth. Inflamed or infected gums can lead to pain, bleeding, and tooth loss. Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel helps maintain gum health by reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair. Zinc ascorbate in the formula plays a role in maintaining gum integrity and preventing infections.
Prevention of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is one of the most common health issues in pets. It begins with plaque buildup and, if untreated, progresses to gum inflammation, infection, and tooth loss. In advanced cases, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream, leading to serious health complications. Regular use of a dental gel can help prevent the early stages of periodontal disease and support long-term oral health.
Easier Alternative to Brushing
Many pets resist tooth brushing, making daily dental care a challenge. Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel provides an alternative that does not require brushing. The gel spreads naturally in the mouth, allowing it to reach areas that may be difficult to clean with a toothbrush.
How to Use Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel
Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel is easy to apply and does not require brushing. It can be used as part of a regular dental care routine to support oral hygiene.
Application Instructions
- Prepare the gel – Shake the bottle before use to ensure even distribution of active ingredients.
- Apply directly – Place a small amount of gel onto a clean finger or a cotton swab.
- Spread along the gums – Gently rub the gel onto the upper gums and inside the cheeks. The pet’s natural tongue movements will help distribute the gel throughout the mouth.
- Use daily – For best results, apply once or twice daily, as recommended by a veterinarian.
The gel is suitable for both dogs and cats and can be used long-term as part of an ongoing dental care routine.
Possible Side Effects and Precautions
Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel is generally well-tolerated by pets. However, some pets may experience mild oral irritation when first introduced to the product. If signs of discomfort persist, use should be discontinued, and a veterinarian should be consulted.
Pets with known allergies to any of the ingredients should not use this product. It is important to store the gel in a cool, dry place and keep it out of reach of children and other animals.
Supporting a Comprehensive Dental Care Routine
While Maxi Guard Oral Cleansing Gel is an effective way to maintain oral hygiene, additional dental care measures can further support a pet’s dental health.
- Dental chews – Chewing helps reduce plaque buildup by mechanically cleaning teeth. Providing dental chews as part of a pet’s routine can enhance oral health.
- Regular veterinary check-ups – Annual dental examinations allow veterinarians to assess oral health and identify any early signs of disease. Professional cleanings may be recommended in some cases.
- Balanced diet – A diet that supports dental health can help reduce plaque buildup. Dry kibble and specially formulated dental diets may contribute to better oral hygiene.
